Just need to verify who is still planning on picking up one so I can ensure we have one for you.
Who's planning to buy one?

Daytime pics - ignore that lone bolt in the middle. It was partially stripped and I had to force it on last night; thought I had enough threads on there, but I guess not and it popped out. Have a bunch of spares so I'll replace it later.
I like having the black one since it's basically invisible at my ride height. Since the rest of my car is blacked out, brushed would stand out too much for me.
The angle matches the slope of the front bumper better than OEM. And you can't see in the pics, but the curvature of the plate matches the curve on the bumper so it lines up, there's no weird gaps or anything. The waviness you see is my bumper, it's not the shield. At my ride height, the bumper takes a lot of abuse and I think it was warped a little bit last year when the tow truck destroyed my original belly pan.

Ok John...no worries. Hey I will be in Vegas for the fight next weekend...can I just come pick it up from you on Sunday or Monday??
Oh fuck yeah, I presume you don't actually have tickets to the fight?
That's going to be MADDDD
Exactly!!...I don't actually have a ticket yet. My friend who lives there is being comped ONE ticket and he's not really a boxing fan so I told him I will buy it off him but he hasn't gotten his hands on it yet....I will be going no matter what tho...ticket or not

I am not sure when it will be ready - if it is done by then you can most definitely pick it up. If not, then you'll have to wait! lol

I have heard a lot of chatter about tickets being "comped" but also local sports radio says that NOBODY even A list celebrities will have comp tickets. Rare event, tickets were going for $6,000-$150,000 and sold out almost instantly only when they opened.
Hey John,
Will be in Vegas this wknd for sure. Any chance my belly pan will be ready?? Will save on the shipping...Let me know. Thx!!

$20 discount if picked up locally...actual shipping costs vary depending on location. CA is normally around $20, NY is closer to $35.
